What is it without God?
Implying that something can only be good or evil if a god exists. Why would adding a supernatural realm change anything? How would a god creating the universe, as opposed to the universe occurring naturally, make certain actions wrong? It's a non sequitur.
Even if I accept what you said, this doesn't address anything. Even if I cannot comment on what is right and wrong (which I can), I can still comment on suffering. And this problem is about suffering. I've already given an example of unnecessary suffering, so this god is ultimately logically incoherent, since a perfect and good omnipotent being would not have any unnecessary suffering in the world. You must either a) Prove malaria for example, does not cause unnecessary suffering. b) Reconcile this unnecessary suffering. The best way to do this is to removing a trait from god: Omniscience or omnipotence. But if you do this 'god' we were talking about is no longer a god.
